    The same holds true for hippopotami.

    Nothing really. I don't go in for all that rah, rah stuff. I have my life goals that I've internalized and I work towards them every day. I already work harder and better in the context of a life balanced with other things.

    I'm a sad, jaded individual, so for me, worker harder has gotten me nowhere. I've been able to meet my goals by figuring out the laziest way to do it while still rewarding myself handsomely for what little effort I did put in. So I guess my mantra would be "work smarter, not harder, but make it look like you're just working harder".

    Same!

    I believe if I turn the key in my car, it will get going. And it works!!!

    It really should be to stay alive (healthy and fit) to be around for my now young adult children. Why isn't that enough to stop me from binging? When I lost a lot of weight, it was so much easier for me to walk around and move. So why did I gain 25 lbs? I want the fun and a healthier life. Just not able all the time to put my mind into it and to stay the course.

    I mostly believe in myself and in my abilities to improve.

    But somehow I doubt that was the answer you were looking for... sorry if that's the case.

    This is classic!! Love it!!! I feel very similar.

    No beliefs ... just a physical condition. If I'm not exhausted I work harder and better.

    Scale, mirrors... those things that should really not matter.
    Conforming to my rules. The feeling of being in control over my life.

    What makes me work harder and better is creating habits and the discipline to stick with them.

    If you are referring to motivation, that's something I can't count on, so don't.
